Just for the record, atheism isn't an ideology. It doesn't explain at all what an atheist does believe. Not one bit. It only means the atheist doesn't believe just one single claim, the claim that a god exists. That's all atheism is.

It's not a matter of opinion though. I don't get why people feel like they get to have an opinion on matters like, for example, the age of the universe, do you also have an "opinion" on the distance between LA and New York? The evidence clearly supports the universe beginning in an expansionary event. We call that event the Big Bang. The evidence also clearly shows that evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet.

Everything I said is just a simple statement of a fact. I'm not injecting opinion into any of this

You are interjecting an opinion when you say, " The evidence also clearly shows that evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet."

It doesn't seem to be much of an explanation when compared to intelligent design. It has no explanation for how life came into being and no explanation for macroevolution. There is no definition for macroevolution that anyone agrees on or can substantiate.

No I'm not, I'm only stating what is agreed on by the scientific community. All of it.

Evolution doesn't attempt to explain how life came into being. Only how life came to be as it is now, once it began.

I know what Rat has to say on ID, but what is your definition? Would you consider it a "theory" considering it can't be tested or really studied at all?

How so? I said "the evidence clearly shows that evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet". What part of that has any opinion in it whatsoever? The scientific community is in universal agreement of this fact. Evolution is the backbone of all of biology.

What specific parts of evolutionary theory do you feel or not up to scratch?

What do you mean by "everything to work in harmony"?

And the evidence of evolution is youre opinion. How does something like you say, (evolution) know how to place the sun just the right distance from earth and to let it rain just enough for plants and other things to grow. Things flowing in harmony

Let's not even get into his hair brained ideas on morality.

Good luck with that. The theists aren't smart enough to understand this.

Some of them even further prove they have fecal matter where normal people keep their brains by claiming atheists have a doctrine.

Yes you are when you mentioned the word (evolution). Evolution is going to create everything to work in harmony?
Get real

It has to. If an organism doesn't harmonize with it's environment then it dies and doesn't pass on its faulty DNA. Something else better suited to the environment, something that "lives in harmony", will be the one flooding the gene pool instead.

You guys look at all this totally ass backwards. The universe isn't harmonious by design, instead everything that exists in it is suited to its environment. It's as simple as that.

And the evidence of evolution is youre opinion. How does something like you say, (evolution) know how to place the sun just the right distance from earth and to let it rain just enough for plants and other things to grow. Things flowing in harmony

How about the 320000000000000000000000000000 planets out there that AREN'T the right distance from their star, have no rain, no plants and just no life in general? How do you explain that? HMMMM???? :set1thinking:

When the conditions are right, life happens. It doesn't mean there was a "design".

And the evidence of evolution is youre opinion. How does something like you say, (evolution) know how to place the sun just the right distance from earth and to let it rain just enough for plants and other things to grow. Things flowing in harmony

First of all, no the evidence is not my opinion, its the evidence. Yes, evidence is interpreted, but when millions of pieces of evidence and study point to the same thing, then no its not "my opinion".

Now you are doing exactly what he did in the video: evolution has nothing to with the distance that the planet is from the sun. We fit into what is referred to as the "Goldilocks Zone" of which there are hundreds of other planets that fall in the same area from their respective star. And that's just the few we have found in the last couple decades. Earth is not unique.

The fact that the planet is the distance that is is from the sun is evidence that the earth formed this distance from the sun. Adding some mystical higher meaning to it all is nothing more than a reach to feel special

You are interjecting an opinion when you say, " The evidence also clearly shows that evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet."
It doesn't seem to be much of an explanation when compared to intelligent design.

It's not an opinion, it is a fact that there is more evidence to support evolution as the explanation for the diversity of life. It's fact because there is actual physical evidence to support evolution and zero evidence to support magic. Evolution having more of the evidence makes it the best explanation. Claiming that magic is a better explanation absent any evidence at all makes the claim an opinion ...it's why they don't teach it in schools, it's make-believe.

No I'm not, I'm only stating what is agreed on by the scientific community. All of it.

Part of my point is that evolution doesn't explain how life began yet it is compared to Creationism that does explain it. Atheists complain that we are saying "Goddidit" yet we understand and can describe the nature of the creator.

Because they had no purpose in life. Just like most of youre statements. Hhhhmmmmm

Clearly that's proof of intelligent design. When you want to make eggs for example, don't you throw a few trillion eggs all over your house before you put two in a pan to cook them?

The theory of macroevolution doesn't align with the scientific method either. It can't be observed nor can it offer any predictions. It's not truly falsifiable because as soon as it is demonstrated as such another explanation is inserted to replace the one that got proven false.

Will that still be true when extraterrestrial life is discovered? Because its pretty much a certainty that life exists elsewhere. Hell even Mars, another planet in our own solar system, has water on it, and its past could have supported life

I find it ironic that atheists are willing to bend to the laws of probability for other life being present in the universe but refuse to when it comes to a Fine Tuned universe.

Does the Bible claim that no life exists anywhere else in the universe?
